Got a chance to grill Adobe GL experts at MacWorld. Nothing beats the face-to-face for the real scoop. GL5 is worth the upgrade for these functions: flattening the external javascript library (45k-9k for me) stripping GoLive code on upload (the stuff that browsers ignore) Dynamic Link .asp much more functional The "table display bug" is actually a bug in the import function, which corrupts your file. Adobe is fixing this with a script in the next few weeks. If you are upgrading from GL4 to GL5, the recommended method is to import your site via the File --> New Site--> From Folder... function. Select the root folder that contains your html pages. (Not the folder that contains your components, etc or the enclosing folder.) You know you did it right if it automatically selects your Site file in the lower portion of the import dialog box. The problem occured for me on a few pages that had triple-nested tables. (a table within a table within a table.) This is a weird design choice anyway. To avoid this, before importing your site, open it in GL4 and reposition your tables temporarily so there are no nested tables. After importing into GL5, you can move them back. Otherwise, the html file will be corrupted and will not display in GL5 (although it seemingly displays fine in browsers). They are developing "a script" (Apple Script?) that you will be able to run on corrupted files and it will fix them. They estimated that it will be ready in late January.
